Nothing like a little KFC

Man I miss American food just a bit. The majority of what we eat here is the same. They just have different styles and less options for ingredients. I would kill to go to a sport event and watch something right now.

This week has been a crazy one. It started off with Elder’s Pday. There were three Elders that were going home and so we played touch, had a KFC feast and some arm-wrestling matches.

Going into Tuesday, we had district meeting and exchanges. Our District Leaders came down to Narrogin with us and we had heaps of fun meeting up with members and tracting for days. I was with Elder Toupou and he has been out 20 months and is from Brisbane. He is a crack up guy and loves the people. We accidentally broke my bed but that is ok I will survive ha-ha. The frame just snapped ha-ha.

We came back up to Perth on that Thursday to finish off our exchanges and help them in their area before zone conference.

The weekend was a good bonding time of members and missionaries. We had a priesthood and a general session on Saturday and then another general session on Sunday. The missionaries are crackup. Heaps of the investigators through our service came out of the wood work and rocked up to conference. Saturday afternoon we helped a Pilipino family move. we drove Utes and trailers so that was fun. They gave us heaps of food which has been the blessing of our labors lately. I will get fat on the mission I have accepted it.

This week I was also blessed with being able to go to a big open Tongan Market. The District Leaders and some of us other Elders helped set up and they gave us horse and lamb and some amazing potato salad to eat. Elder Anitema helped me get material for a Tupenu with is a lava lava or ceremonial skirt worn by islanders. A nice Tongan grandma is making me one and possibly a tie or two ha-ha. The people are crackup and I love every second of being out.

This Sunday transfer calls were made. Supposedly there are heaps of missionaries coming in this new intake which is exciting. A lot of the Elders and Sisters in our zone were asked to be in leadership positions or training. Me and Elder Paongo are still together in Narrogin though.


We have meet up and rescheduled Manny's Baptism for this Saturday the 19th which is exciting. We are also teaching two keen investigators Chevon and PJ from the Kattaning area. We are hoping to set them on date soon.
